"If you can’t distinguish between a framework and a contract – between a spending ceiling and actual expenditure – how exactly are you planning to manage departmental budgets? How will you oversee major infrastructure projects? How will you avoid the kind of procurement disasters that plagued the early COVID response that ended up costing the country £1.4bn?

"And no, I’m not expecting politicians to become procurement experts. I’m expecting them to grasp the fundamentals before launching public attacks on supposedly scandalous spending. It’s about recognising when you need to ask an expert rather than reaching straight for the outrage button. If you can’t tell the difference between a budget ceiling and an actual cheque, perhaps stick to commenting on Love Island rather than fiscal policy."
